Artas® Hair Transplant

Artas® Hair Transplant is revolutionizing the hair restoration process. In the past, hair transplant patients had to rely upon lengthy procedures involving stitches and linear scarring. Known as the linear strip method, this technique removes an entire section of scalp in order to transplant your hair follicles. Though these older hair restoration methods were viable options for some patients, advances in technology have led to minimally invasive hair restoration treatments that can achieve substantial results with less downtime and recovery. Artas® Hair Transplant is a robotic hair restoration treatment that selects only the healthiest hair follicles for transplantation and removes those individual follicles without damaging surrounding hairs. Patients undergoing Artas® Hair Transplant can avoid the lengthy incisions, stitches, and linear scarring associated with past hair restoration techniques.

The hair restoration doctors at the San Diego Hair Restoration Center offer advanced hair transplant technologies to promote natural hair growth and achieve a fuller hairline. Our hair restoration experts can determine which hair transplant techniques are right for you during your consultation at our San Diego office.

HOW DOES ARTAS® HAIR RESTORATION SELECT WHICH FOLLICLES TO TRANSPLANT?

Hair loss is a widespread concern for many men. Approximately 65% of American men will notice some degree of hair thinning by the age of 35 and almost 85% of all men suffer from significant hair loss by the age of 50. While there are numerous causes of balding, including health and environmental factors, the majority of male hair loss cases are caused by Androgenic Alopecia (male pattern baldness). This means that your hair follicles are genetically predisposed to be sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT); as your levels of DHT increase with age, your hair increasingly thins, deteriorates, and eventually, falls out.

Hair follicles found at the sides and back of the head are usually resistant to DHT and are ideal for transplantation because they are genetically predisposed not to fall out. Artas® hair restoration uses ground-breaking digital imaging and precision robotics to select the healthiest hair follicles to transplant and ensures these hair follicles are not diminished by DHT. The accuracy of Artas® Hair Transplant technology also ensures the hair found at the back of the head remains thick since the surrounding hair follicles are not touched during transplantation.

HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY ARTAS® HAIR TRANSPLANT IN SAN DIEGO?

The length of your hair is very important when undergoing Artas® hair restoration; this is to ensure that Artas® digital imaging and robotic technology can take accurate readings of your hair follicles. Thus, on the day of your Artas® procedure, the donor hair at the back of your head should be no longer than 1 millimeter. Wearing your hair in a short cut is also recommended because it allows your hair restoration doctor to easily and precisely insert the transplanted follicles in their new location at the crown of your head and hairline. To ease the transition from longer hair to the necessary short haircut the day of your procedure, we recommend that you space out pre-procedure haircuts over a period of several weeks. By doing so, you will feel more comfortable in shorter hairstyles. Additionally, your friends, family, and co-workers will be less inclined to notice the transition. Undergoing scheduled haircuts can also ensure that your hair is cut to the desired length by the day of your Artas® Hair Transplant.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT THE DAY OF MY ARTAS® HAIR TRANSPLANT?

You should wear comfortable clothes on the day of your Artas® hair restoration procedure; this includes a shirt that buttons or zippers in the front, as well as a loose-fitting hat to wear following treatment. During your hair transplant procedure, a local anesthetic is administered. Patients will remain awake throughout treatment and are encouraged to bring a book or music to pass the time. Breaks are provided and patients can eat, stretch their legs, or visit the lavatory, if necessary. Following your Artas® Hair Transplant, your hair restoration doctors will provide you with post-procedure instructions for recovery and home care. These instructions are extremely important and should be followed thoroughly to ensure optimal results. In the weeks following your treatment, your transplanted hair follicles will grow at the rate of normal hair. You can eventually wash, comb, style, and cut your hair like you would naturally.
